Former Texas WR Parker Livingstone Commits to Oklahoma in Transfer-Portal Move

The redshirt freshman chose the Sooners over Indiana after visits, creating a rare Red River switch with three years of eligibility.

Overview

  • Livingstone’s decision was reported Jan. 6 by multiple outlets, including ESPN, confirming his move from Texas to Oklahoma out of the transfer portal.
  • He posted 29 receptions for 516 yards and six touchdowns in 2025 and was ranked among the top transfer receivers by 247Sports’ Composite.
  • He visited Oklahoma and Indiana before committing to OU, a move drawing attention given his close relationship with Texas quarterback and roommate Arch Manning.
  • When he entered the portal last week, Livingstone wrote that circumstances were out of his control, signaling tensions around his Texas departure.
  • Oklahoma is reshaping its receiver room, adding former Virginia standout Trell Harris as other wideouts exit, and the Houston Chronicle reported an approximate $800,000 OU deal for Livingstone that other outlets have not independently corroborated.
